City venues
There are a number of car parks nearby, with direct access from the Civic car park into the Aotea Centre and other parks in walking distance. You can drive into the Civic car park from Grey’s Avenue or Mayoral Drive, next to the Herald Theatre. Keep in mind that sometimes all of our venues are filled with events, so it’s good to have a backup plan, like the Victoria Street and Atrium on Elliott car parks.

Visit Auckland Transport’s parking page for information on locations, rates and closing times and don’t forget that there are bus, train and ferry options also available

Parking is available for $2.00 per hour to a maximum of $12.00 per day (coins or credit cards only), Monday - Sunday.

Stadiums

Western Springs Stadium
There is very limited parking around Western Springs Stadium and traffic can be a challenge for events with tens of thousands of people arriving at the same time. If you’re not keen to take the bus, pre-plan an area to park within walking distance. If you’re not familiar with the area, you may even want to do a test drive! One of the great things about Western Springs is the location in the central suburbs – you might even be able to park at a friend’s house. Get driving directions to Western Springs Stadium here

Mt Smart Stadium
There’s parking in the streets around Mt Smart Stadium and some enterprising locals open up their car parks for a fee where you can park at your own risk, but the biggest key to getting a car park near Mt Smart Stadium is getting there early. A smart option is driving to a train station and getting the train to the stadium.
